A plan that survives the week.
A 30-minute weekly conversation focuses on one student-owned goal your student can work on through the week—not another set of instructions to forget.
One session. Something real to try.
Start my science lab report before Wednesday practice
- Choose the goal together in a 30-minute session.
- Make the first actions visible and agree on a reminder.
- Bring back what worked—and what got in the way.
The plan is an experiment, not a grade. The next session is a chance to adjust it together.
Showing the front of the card.
Six commitments. A consistent standard.
Designed and led by Sue Hobbs, P.A.V.E. combines research-informed practice with individualized coaching. Plan, Anchor, Value, Excel.
Create a goal together
Each 30-minute session focuses on one achievable goal the student owns. Coach and student choose it together.
Find a system that works
Build on the student’s strengths. Try a practical strategy that fits the way they work, rather than prescribing another planner.
Visual support
Keep the agreed goal and supporting steps visible in the purpose-built P.A.V.E. Companion mobile app.
Confidence and personal value
Connect the work to what matters to the student. Notice effort and useful learning, without grading or shaming.
Reflection and adjustment
Look at what worked and what did not. Adjust the approach when real life changes the plan.
Human connection
A real coach listens and helps the student think it through. Brief text or email questions are welcome; substantial discussion may move to a session.
A conversation first. A decision together.
Start without a commitment to coaching.
The free 30-minute discovery call is a virtual conversation with a parent, and often the student. We hear the story, answer questions and discuss whether coaching fits.
If it feels right, we can choose a first session time during the call. The agreement and setup come before coaching; there is no separate intake session.
A clear beginning. Room to adjust.
The first 30-minute individual session is $110. Student and parent attend together to look at one real example, choose one small action and discuss the next meeting. Payment is charged after the session.
Weekly is the preferred starting cadence; biweekly may fit some students. Parent involvement is agreed, with visibility into goals and agreed steps—not private conversations.
The session ends. The support stays close.
The plan stays close.
The P.A.V.E. Companion mobile app holds the one agreed goal, a visual checklist and agreed reminders. Ask My Coach connects the student with their human coach.
Progress is not a straight line.
Practice, reflection and repeated use take time. Awareness and routines may change before greater independence. No particular grade or outcome is promised.
How does the P.A.V.E. app support coaching?
Students and coaches capture clear next steps during sessions. Between sessions, students review the plan, record where they left off and ask for help. The app supports—not replaces—the coaching relationship. Replies are not immediate; this is not a crisis service.
It doesn’t have to be this way. P.A.V.E. can help.
One free 30-minute conversation can help you decide whether you’ve found the support you’ve been looking for.
No pressure. Just a conversation about your student.
